Lost 3-6. Parr has to do it tomorrow or we'll be swept (90% confidence).
BC will be a fight for us to make the ACC and NCAA tourney.

Pray for a rain out! It's the only way we don't lose all three. This series will really mess up our season.
As to this series messing up our season, to me, we already had a messed up season. Here's my list of most satisfying to least satisfying series this year with UVa and BC to go. Note that we only won 3 of 8 series. (3-4-1)
@Clemson 2-1
@UNC 2-1
VT 3-0
Miami 1-2
NCState 1-2
@FSU - 0-3
@Pitt 1-1
Duke 1-2
I managed to get to the game in C'ville last night. Seriously doubt it was a factor; but Gold seemed to be in control when his first pitch in the bottom of the 4th injured the home plate ump. The ump left and did not return. There was a significant delay (15 min or so) as the replacement got suited up and UVA tagged us for 4 quick runs (all with 2 outs). It was a well-played game. UVA is doing what they seem to do... peaking late. It could have been worse. Gold got out of 2 big jams w/ minimal damage (1 run each) in the 5th and 6th. Still confident (sort of) we can get away with a win today or tomorrow; but need one of those monster (double digit runs) offensive surges we seem to manage once or twice a weekend. We'll see.
I bought tickets for tomorrow's game to go with a friend whose son pitched for GT 15 years ago. Looks like great weather. I haven't been to a baseball game there but will check out the tailgating before the game. WREK was saying that UVa is averaging 3500 a game this year. I don't know what we are averaging for the whole year but we had about 1900 a game average for Miami and 1200 earlier in the season for Western Carolina. I think being a larger school and not as many sports alternatives close by help UVa a lot. Plus a great program. But cold weather early in the year.
The game has been moved to 6:00 p.m.
